Hi everyone, I am new to Formidable Forms and I've run into a problem that I can't solve. I have form that let me add parishes in different cities. It literally has 2 fields - city and parish name. In different form I added lookup fields, one showing cities and second showing parishes - based on a city choice. The problem is, when I add filter to parish list, it shows only placeholder. Otherwise it shows all parishes in all cities, what I expected. I have no idea what is happening, because any change of city choice doesn't make any change on parishes list. It's always only placeholder. I don't see any errors or anything like that so I can have at least a slight idea what's going on. I tried to look for this in google but couldn't find anything that looks like this problem. I could really use some help with finding what's going on here. Thanks for your time.

replied 2 years ago In the first image, there's no value set in the watch field. It won't work without a value. Also, if you watching a lookup field with another lookup field, the values should be pulled from the same table. I don't understand your native language, but it appears from the images that your second field is not setup correctly.

replied 2 years ago Hmm... I am not sure which image you meant. I checked all of them and in city (Miejscowość) field I don't have watch field, since I want to just have all of cities from this form. In parish field (Parafia) I have watch field is set on city (Miejscowość). Both on them take data from "Parafie", just from different columns. Shouldn't it be that way?

replied 2 years ago The only thing I can think of is that the conditional is testing for the absence of a value. You didn't populate the value. Other than that, things appear to be okay, but to be sure, I suggest you read over the docs again. https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/lookup/#kb-watch-a-lookup-field
If things continue not to work, you may have to hire a developer to take a look or open a ticket with Formidable Support through your owner account dashboard.

replied 2 years ago If I'm understanding you correctly, I think you want to setup cascading lookup fields. See this: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/lookup/#sts=Set%20up%20cascading%20fields
